Survey Hints at Gran Turismo Vita, New PS Plus Features

Looks like Sony’s got some things cooking.

The power of the IGN community strikes again. This time, the hero is reader Adam Latham, who has informed IGN PlayStation of an online survey he was asked to take that seems to hint at all sorts of special goodies on the horizon... or at least gauging how interested he’d be in these hypothetical products and offers.

For starters, Mr. Latham was asked about Gran Turismo on PlayStation Vita. “You told us earlier how interested you would be in buying the PS Vita version of the latest Gran Turismo game,” the survey reads. “Knowing that you might be able to get a discount on the PS3 version of the game, how interested are you now in the PS Vita version?”

Another question inquires about future PlayStation Plus offers, a topic we’ve covered in the past. The survey reads: “Imagine that as part of PlayStation Plus, every time you bought a game on either PS3 or PS Vita, you would be entitled to get the game on the other console absolutely free. So, if you bought Resistance on PS Vita, you could download Resistance on PS3 for free. Or if you got FIFA on PS3, you could download the PS Vita version for free.” The Resistance analogy is a little strange since there aren’t literal analogs on both the console and handheld like there is for FIFA, but it seems the focus is more on the idea than anything else.

A third question asked Mr. Latham to score how interested he’d be in buying various PS3 games in different formats, either as a “standard” Blu-ray or digitally via the PlayStation Store for a discount.

We've reached out to Sony for comment on Gran Turismo, the PS+ perks, the digital discounts and the validity of the survey overall. We'll update when when we hear back.
